Solar Decathlon “Nexushaus” Project

The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture and the Technische Universität München are partners in the 2015 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon, a collegiate competition that showcases sustainable building practices in residential houses. The student-led team will work together to design, build, and operate an 850 square foot energy- and water-efficient house dubbed the “NexusHaus,” which will respond to the Texas context of energy, water, food, and population growth.
